Beta-lactamase Genes in Multi-resistant Aeromonas spp. isolated from River and Aquaculture Water Sources in Nigeria

Chikwendu, C. L^*, Egbadon, E. O., Amadi, E.S, S. N. Ibe, Gideon Chijioke Okpokwasili

This study examined multi-resistant Aeromonas spp. isolated from river and aquaculture water sources for determinants of resistant genes. These species can provide a reservoir for resistant genes capable of transfer to other water-borne and human pathogens. The isolates were confirmed with API 20NE. Resistance profiles of 206 Aeromonas isolates wer...

THE DOMINANCE OF THE GENERA Myroides AND Proteus WITHIN HYDROCARBON UTILIZING POPULATIONS IN SOME CRUDE OIL-IMPACTED SITES

Chioma Blaise Chikere^*, Gideon Chijioke Okpokwasili

Hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria in environmental samples collected from crude oil impacted sites at Eleme, Rivers State, and five water samples from effluent discharge points at five different flow-stations in Delta State, all in the Niger Delta were isolated using Bushnell Haas agar. Bacterial genera tentatively characterized were Acinetobacter, Al...
